Popular Countertop Edge Profiles
Square edge countertops create a clean, modern look for your countertops. If this isn’t your style, check out our other options!
Square edge
Bullnose
The bullnose edge is for those who don’t love a sharp look and instead prefer something more subtle and soft. Some prefer a full bullnose, while others lean toward the half bullnose, where the top curves down and the bottom flattens out. Either of these options work well in households with young kids. You don’t want little heads to get bumped on sharp countertop edges!
Ogee
For a traditional kitchen, an ogee edge is the perfect finishing touch. Its graceful top curve transitions into a pedestal, while the bottom curve forms a sophisticated base. This timeless edge is a popular choice for marble and granite countertops, adding an air of elegance and refinement.
Bevel
A bevel edge is a square that’s cut at a forty-five-degree angle, almost like a slice has been taken out of the square edge. Like bullnose, this is a good way to make your edge a bit less sharp and pointy. One of the best profile edges for granite because of how sleek it is!
Eased
This is one of our most popular choices. An eased edge is the happy medium between round and square edges, almost like a soft square. It’s simple yet timeless, and safe for little ones too! It works well with all stone materials.
Waterfall
Looking to make a bold statement? A waterfall edge is a must-have for your countertops! This design extends the countertop all the way down to the floor, showcasing the beauty of your chosen material. While it may require more material, the sleek, ultra-chic look is absolutely worth it. Many opt for a mitered edge with a waterfall design, which is similar to the bevel edge but more subtle, creating a seamless, flowing connection between two stone pieces that’s visually stunning.
How to Choose a Countertop Edge
The first step in choosing a countertop edge is to decide on your countertop material, as this will determine which edge profiles work best.
If you’ve chosen quartz, you’re in luck—its versatility allows it to pair with nearly any edge profile. Quartz offers a sophisticated look, and our popular edge styles can be easily incorporated into it.
For granite, marble or quartzite, the eased, bullnose, bevel, and ogee edges are typically the most complementary.
Your kitchen’s style plays a role too. Ogee edges, for example, are perfect for traditional kitchens but might clash with more contemporary designs. On the other hand, an eased edge is a safe bet, as it seamlessly fits with almost any style.
